Fully online. Inspiration professors. I hope to return for doctorate program. Clubs and food had to be put and do not accurately reflect fully online.

Concordia's science programs are hard but highly respected by graduate schools. This school will transform you to become a more highly educated person and well rounded community member. The program requires an Admit to Major exam and interview that really tests your preparation for graduation with your specific degree.

In the end my degree did not provide me with the skills necessary to be successful in life. I ended up getting more certifications then I want to count and had to do a drastic change on my communication style as this university did not prepare me for the real world. In the end they care more about the kid down the street then they do the customer.

Please stay away Concordia University's Portland campus. It's a small campus in the middle of nowhere with very poor instructors, especially in the sciences. The teachers make mean comments. The students are unfriendly and act they belong in high school. Go to the University of Portland instead or elsewhere.

horrible university !!
Overall 2
If you plan on living in the dorms, heads up the wifi is beyond slow. The school is small, and honestly feels like a high school. Professors are nice, overall a great education. The food is not the best, not much to choose from. Overall if you want a super small school and community, this is for you.
